til 1t is about the consistency of jelly, and
soft crumbs of corn bread should be stirred
into this when the little turkeys are about
q week old.
Soft batter bread soaked in sweet milk
may be given to them when they are about
q month old, and when two or three months
old, small grains of different kinds. az
wheat, oats, or maize, should be fed to
them, at first in small quantities.
They are afraid of anything new, and
will not taste the food until they have seen
1t several times, and then they must learn,
by trying small quantities at first, that it is
not hurtful.
Sweet milk or clabber may be given to
them freely after they are three or four
days old, but it should be put into very
shallow pans, or else they will drown them
selves IN 1t, or get their downy plu mage SO
wet and solled that they will droop and die.
little turkey does not care to live unless
be il dry and warm and has exactly what he
wants to eat. When they are two DAYS old,
put them with their mother in a large
coop on the dry grass, and keep them up
one or two days. after which, if the weather
Is falr, they are let out every morning as
soon as the dew dries on the grass, and
allowed to run at large like chickens. For
my experience teaches that the sooner they
begin to feed upon insects, heir natural
food the healthier they ar. The green
spears of fresh, tender grass and the foliage
OF white clover afford them grazing of
which they are very fond
Where the flock cannot have an extensive
range, greater variety of food is, of course,
necessary to their welfare; chopped onions,
lettuce, radishes, cabbages, and almost any
kind OF fresh green things that they will
eat, will help to keep them healthy. I'm
like chickens, they do not like rich food,
bat are very dainty and prefea one thing
at time. not obliging, however, TO slight
tlavoring of red or black pepper,
When they are large enough to keep out
of the way of hogs, drive them out of the
yard into grass lot or meadow every day,
wherever the grasshoppers are most abund-
ant, and if they fail to come home about
shutdown, look for them until find them
and bring them home, for they should be
taught very early TO come home TO sleep
every night.
If permitted, the hens will often raise
several broods in q season, like chickens,
and last year those Matched in August grew
SO fast that by the next spring they could
scarcely be distinguished from the others.
The hens appear to reach maturity much

POULTRY-RAISING.
Tv1.I.Pus and Their U-U,Is.


Done in my way, very little more time or
labor is expended in rearing q flock of
seventy-five turkeys than with SO many
chickens. And the result is much more
satisfactory, turkeys being subject t. fewer
diseases, and with the exception of one or
two being crushed by their mother in The
coop at night, or being accidentally killed,
/ usually succeed III rearing every one that
is Matched.
\ chief reason of success is, that | have
kept the same hens, or some of their de-
scendants, year after year; and by syste-
matte course of gentle treatment and kind
consideration for their wants, the instincts
o. their wild nature and their inmate fear
OF man have been to Ii great extent over
come. So having come TO the conclusion
that am their best friend, they want to
stay pretty close 10 the house.
There is an old hen down in the ward
now, with little turkeys about two weeks
old, that comes up regularly every three or
four hours and tells me in Enthusiastically
terms that she and her children want some
thing 10 eat. They eat and drink very
little at q time, and when their appetite is
satisfied, go away very contented.
/ have an idea that every little Young
thing will try harder to live, and will grow
faster, if 1t is persuaded that its living and
thriving is a matter of special concern to
somebody; SO, in order TO convince the little
turkeys to this fact, and 10 make them be-
heve that their food grows in my hand, |
take them from their nest when they are a
few hours old and keep them in q box or a
basket for two days, and teach them to
know my voice and TO eat from my hand.

HOUSEKEEPING.
(lcdflinq Windofrs.

Many housewives who are anything but
careless in the rest of their work are neg
lectful of their windows, inasmuch as they
may often clean them, but do so in such a
careless manner that they are never really
clean. Every woman has way of her
own Tor this work, which she considers far
superior to any other, but very few of them
have good method, and may be improved
on easily.
Many women use soap to help them in
washing windows, ard then wonder why
| the glass looks 30 streaky. Soap should
; never be used for this worn, for, if it is,
the glass will never look as clear as that
which has been cleaned without. To be
sure, they are always rlnsed after washing
IN this way, and, even then, though they
, may look as well as those washed in
clear water, yet they do not look
any better, and the extra labor is
thrown away. Do not use old table linen
for washing or wiping windows. 1t is,
certainly nice and soft, and would seem to
De just the thing, but the wiping off of the
lint, which old table linen, which old table
linen Is sure to leave after it. outweighs
all the merits of sofiness. Cold water is
usually used, but this required so much
wlplng, and If there is any grease on the
widow, which is often the case where
there are children, so much hard work to
remove 1t, that warm water is much to be
preferred.
Choose for this work warm day; if
cloudy all the better, though by no means
ever clean windows on damp day. First
dust the windows inside and out using
small paint brush for the crevices and cor
ners of the sashes. Wash thoroughly the
sashes and woodwork around the panes,
and If soap is used, see that as little as
possible of it touches the glass. Wash
the woodwork on the outside of the win
dow, as that is usually very dusty and
should be always cleaned before the glass
Is touched. Have small flannel or cotton
cloth for washing, an6 a large, old cotton
one for wiping. Never use new cotton for
this purpose, for, without exception, it is
the hardest kind of cloth for drying win
dows. Have o basin of pretty warm water,
the hotter the better, and into it put few
drops of ammonia. With the small cloth
wash each pane thoroughly, using a small
pointed stick for the corners (some save
wooden skewer for this purpose) and if
the water is very hot, wipe Immediately,
for with hot water the panes wipe much
easier and dry very quickly. Clear hot
water without the ammonia may be used,
and will do the work very well, but the
ammonia makes the work easier and i'm
parts to the glass fine gloss. Some use
few drops of kerosene in place af ammo
MIA and claim it as excellent. Wash the
inside of the glass first, SO that when do
ing the outside any speck or streak may be
easily seen and removed. Windows treated
in this way may be washed in one-half the
time in which they are usually done, and
look much better.

should like to call the attention of every
flower lover to the sweet-scented night
blooming Nicotiana atfinis, says writer in

garden and in door decoration, but also for
cut-fower work, its pure white blossoms

and fresh for many days, emitting it's de-
licious fragrance morning and evening.
1t requires no care after planting out in
spring, and when repotted for the green
house or window, may be placed in some
corner where, mayhap, nothing else will
thrive, and if watered freely will repay you
thousand fold by its sweet and abund-
ant bloom.
1t may not be amiss to add here that in
the absence of fine flowers, or where a
bouquet is desired for snowy effect, that
nothing can be finer than the Nicotiana ar

scription, greatly over estimating him

To quite ward off the Captains sus-
| picions-should he have any-of the
real state of affairs, Loo accepts the at

ground are punches of rose trees in

Engrossed with her Irritation with

whose place she has usurped. But if

whose untimely death she is never tired
of talking about.
As the weeks go by she speculates
upon the subject, and wonders if no
body Will ever come to claim the very
few personal effects that belonged to
the dead girl. She believes that some
where in the world there is some one
who loved and cared for the one that
had met so terrible fate. And she is,
therefore, not much surprised one
sunny morning to see a strange man
walk up the path leading to her door.
And she is at once interested when the
gentleman inquiries, in voice which
betrays emotion, carefully modulated
though it is:

thorn died?"
The "motherly woman" mods in the
affirmative.
"Yes. In this house, and in this

The visitor enters and glances about
him. He is unprepossessing in his per-

built, with shoulders SO very broad as
to suggest suspicion of padding. A
thick black beard struggles down

sweeps upon his breast. His eyes are

slsts upon being sung to each day, and
Loo really sings very sweetly. Her
voice is not one that will make her for
tune as cantatrice; but it is sweet and
low, and fairly well cultivated-the
kind of voice we all like to hear Groom

| Captain Hazard has somehow fallen into
the habit of quietly seeking corner of
the drawing-room, as the shadows be-

at the piano.
Loo, however, is quite unconscious of
this action on his part. She slips into
her seat and sings the simple old songs
Madam calls for, then when this is
done she slips away as quietly as she
! had come.
The little cuckoo clock over the
mantel sings out the hour nine as she
rises now from the piano.
Goodnight, Madam" she says.
Goodnight, my dear" answers Ma
dam, and the girl fits away.

Madam Dundas, be koning to the Cap

would remain undivided in your hands

The Captain colors. He understands

Virtue ia the Royal Touch.


The gift OF healing scrofula and sim
liar diseases, claimed for centuries by
our kings, lasted, az We know, to the
age of Queen Anne, and the service
used on the occasion can be read in
the common prayer book printed in
her reign. That very sacred King,
Charles Lift we may believe an eye
wit ess, one of his own surgeons
performed many hundreds OF cures,
and is said to have touched in TWEEN
ty-one years upwards OF $4,000 suf
ferers. GOD give you better health
and more sense" was the benediction
of William III. over the only person
he could be persuaded to touch. The
writer observes that though the be-
lief In the virtue of the royal touch
was q silly superstition, it was not,
as Macaulay terms it, an imposture,
since patients were often cured by the
impression produced on the nervous
system, the excitement caused by the
royal touch in cases of scrofula caus-
ing freer flow OF blood to the part
affected.

III tftfs to HOtts ekeeDers.

To CLRAN zinc use strong vinegar.
POPCORN is good for nausea, and cram
berry for malaria.
TUBS and board should be wiped dry
Monday night and put away.
For neuralgia try flannel wrung out OF
hot water and sprinkled thickly with black
pepper.
THE addition of q few drops of oil of
almonds will keep ink from becoming
mouldy.
WASH-CLoTHs should be thoroughly
| rinsed in water with soap and little am
monia.
RUB new tins oil over with lard and heat
through before using first time and they
will not rust.
THE common hard red pimples on the
face may be cured by frequent bathing of
the face with salt water.
STAIN your floors with Diamond dye and
varnish, and you will never use any more
paint to be rubbed off in spots.
THE white of an egg beaten and rubbed
into the head three or four times week it
is claimed will prevent the hair from fall
ing out.
To WASH doubtful calcoes, put tea
spoonful of sugar of lead in pailful of
cold water, and soak the article one hour
before washing.
To MEND small holes in plastering, use
one part plaster of paris and three parts
fine sand; mix with cold water and apply
with case knife.
For coffee stains try putting thick
gIycerine on the wrong side and washing
it out with lukewarm water. For raspberry
stains weak ammonia water is the best.
A PASTE made of starch, glycerine, and
plaster of paris remains plastic and adj
hesive longer than any other cement, and
is the best for mending pottery which does
not require washing.
SPIRITS of camphor will remove fruit
stains of all kinds from white goods if APP
piled before the goods have been wet.
Wash and boil in the usual manner, and
you need not look for the stain, for it will
not be there.

MOTHER.
By BURT ARNOLD.


A lonesome quiet reigns tonight
I've never felt before;
For mothers passed the portals bright
Where angels guard the door.
And while I sit in the twilight low,
nv thoughts they wander wide;
It seems to me not long ago
Since Iknelt by her side,
A chubby boy with 1axec hair
Her love enshrined me then;
And had | always sat me there,
What might my past have been!
For steadfast as the stars above
Ne'er wav'ring to the end,
Next God above, my mothers love
Was my best earthly friend
So swift the years have glided on,
They all seem yesterdays;
And l review, IN the past that's gone,
Her guidance Of my ways.
Outlines 1 start, amid the gloom,
AS if her voice l heard;
And list my ear around the room
That | may hear her word.
But o. alas her voice is still
l ne'er may hear it more,
Unless it be that, by Gods will,
We meet at heavens door.
And if he deigns to hear my prayer,
How happy l shall be;
III keep me pure to meet her there
On heaven shelt'ring lea.
20 God, who gaugeth each ones worth
Through actions here below,
The golden crown, she won on earth,
Has placed on mothers brow.
Now-lonesome quiet reigns again
feel it as before;
The lonesome quiet's in my brain
Twill never leave me more.

CONSOMME SoUP-Take a large soup
bone with vegetables and let them boil for
five or six hours, skimming off ut intervals
the grease and other substances that may
arise to the surface. Remove this stock
from the fire, strain it off, and let it cool.
Then stir together a half a dozen eggs
(shells and ALL, one sliced carrot, one
sliced onion, salt and pepper, and mix
thoroughly with the cold stock and put
over the fire 10 boil slowly five minutes,
stirring from time to time to prevent burn
ing. After straining through o napkin the
SCUM should be clear and ready for the
table.
CREAM OF RICT.-Wash one pound of
rice and put in a saucepan, with two quarts
of cold water, an onion stuck with a couple
of cloves, a carrot, salt, and a little white
pepper; q small meat bone or a chicken
NAV also be boiled with the other ingredi-
ents. These should be boiled for two
hours, adding enough hot water from time
to time to keep the quantity of soup
wanted. Then strain the liquor and press
the rice through fine sieve. Add pint
of boiling milk, tablespoonful of butter,
and mix in the yolks of two eggs, when
